Abstract

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects people of any age, which can be detected by Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. This paper proposes a novel method called Volume of Phase Space Representation (VOPSR) to classify seizure and seizure-free EEG signals automatically. Primarily, the recorded EEG signal is disintegrated into several Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) using the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method and the three-dimensional phase space have been reconstructed for the obtained IMFs. The volume is measured for the obtained 3D-PSR for different IMFs called VOPSR, which is used as a feature set for the classification of Epileptic seizure EEG signals. Support vector machine (SVM) is used as a classifier for the classification of epileptic and epileptic-free EEG signals. The classification performance of the proposed method is evaluated under different kernels such as Linear, Polynomial and Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernels. Finally, the proposed method outperforms noteworthy state-of-the-art classification methods in the context of epileptic EEG signals, achieving 99.13% accuracy (average) with the Linear, Polynomial, and RBF kernels. The proposed technique can be used to detect epilepsy from the EEG signals automatically without human intervention.
